Book Event
Pllek, Amsterdam
April 2027
Invite only!
Welcome!
The Amsterdam Book Event (ABE) is entirely dedicated to English-language books. Ten well-known British and American publishers are coming to the Netherlands especially for this exclusive event to inspire booksellers with the best forthcoming titles from their catalogues. In nine informative presentations, guests will be shown which English-language books are due to be published this autumn and winter.
In short: the books you can't miss in the coming period and should definitely put in your shop(s)!
Besides fiction and non-fiction in all genres, various art and illustrated titles are also featured - organiser Van Ditmar finds it important to inform you as a bookseller as broadly as possible.
On this website you will find all information surrounding the book event in Amsterdam, from frequently asked questions …and, of course, the programme as soon as it is finalised. The fourth edition of the ABE will take place in April 2027 – the edition scheduled for 9 September has, unfortunately, been postponed due to the nationwide public transport strike on that day.
The ABE operates with an exclusive guest list for booksellers.
Location: Pllek
Industrial, raw and laidback: Pllek is the ideal location for the Amsterdam Book Event. Located on the historic NDSM wharf on the IJ, with fantastic views of Amsterdam's skyline.
